How to update functional documentation with ReqBuilder?

Work on ReqBuilder is done from a change version, that will become the new main version once validated.

It is therefore possible to modify the functional documentation of an Applications while keeping the Main version unchanged. ReqBuilder allows you to view the differences between these two versions, validate the change version, and view the modification history.

Versions #

To avoid complex version conflict management, only one change version can be created at a time.

To add a change version, if one does not already exist, simply click the « + » button located to the right of the main version in the side panel.

All the specifications present in the main version of the Information System are copied into the change version. When the change version is validated, it becomes the new main version.
